Ten Gridiron regulars, a well rested EF Hutton, and an FNG (thanks to Johnsonville) arrived on a beautiful Saturday morning to welcome me back to Gridiron and then to be surprised I was the Q. We hit the football field to warm up and started with some SSH and then hit the soft wet ground to do some Suzanne Somers, Freddie Mercuries and Flutter Kicks. Maybe we did more, I can’t remember. Then in memory of Jimmy Buffet we did a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” (Quarter Pounder). To be clear, a Quarter Pounder was my plan before Hutton informed me that…

I was getting ready to introduce disc golf to the fine far West folks. I went to Costco and retrieved 3 boxes and had them set up for a mini course (hit the box would have been my backblast title). To my astonishment, I found 5 real disc golf baskets set up at the back of Short Pump Middle. Did they set them up for us? Well no boxes necessary. Although not everyone was on time, we had 10 PAX ready to go. COP: DQs, DMH, Merkins, MCs, LBCs and ACs. Is that Lighthouse and Homer? Mosey to hole 1.…

A dirty dozen seasoned Pax and a FNG were the early risers in the park joining the soccer players, softball practice, and Pickleball enthusiasts. Off to the nice football field for a disclaimer and welcome. COP commenced and we meandered off the field out of respect to the soccer players assembling. With the middle school football field “closed”, we went to the soccer field to begin the fun. Oh, I forgot to mention that we have been carrying around an 80# sandbag. Lining up on the 0 yard zero yard line, the Pax karaoke’d to the other end of the…
